My desktop env attempts to launch pdfs via dolphin, but this raises at library missing symbol error.

As a general fix, we should change GafferUI.ShowURL to call platform specific launchers, via Popen with a cleaned up env.

On linux 'xdg-open' should suffice, and on osx 'open'.

Fixed for OS X as part of the OSL work - still needs the linux fix.
